Review: The Lifestyle by Taylor Hahn

The Lifestyle by Taylor Hahn

Blurb from Goodreads:

Georgina Wagman has it all—a great marriage, a great job at a prestigious law firm, and great friends. She’s living the life she always wanted, and everything is perfect. Until, that is, she walks in on her husband Nathan in a compromising position with a junior associate. Georgina has a moment of crisis. But divorce is not a part of the five-year plan, so she comes up with an idea to save her marriage and recapture the spark. She and Nathan are going to become swingers.

Georgina isn’t going to embark on this adventure alone, though. Her friends Felix and Norah and their respective partners decide to tag along for the ride. They’ve got relationship woes of their own that swinging just might fix. Georgina, convinced Felix and Norah belong together, is thrilled. What better place to reignite romance between two people destined to be together than a swingers’ party? Her plan is foolproof, until she runs into a college ex at the first party. When they reconnect, Georgina will find herself torn between her head and her heart, with her very happiness hanging in the balance. Perfect for fans of Jennifer Weiner and Sophie Kinsella, The Lifestyle is a playful homage to Jane Austen's Emma Woodhouse and an outrageously fun summer read.

 Unfortunately this just wasn't fun or funny for me.  I was intrigued by the premise and I usually love Austen re-tellings but this was just meh for me. I feel like a lot was left unsaid in that situation lead-ups would be described but what actually happened wouldn't be described.  I kept thinking I was missing chapters but it was just an editorial decision?  Regardless, I didn't love this one. I hope you have better luck!

The Lifestyle comes out next week on June 7, 2022 and you can purchase HERE.  

In the conference room, two grumpy-looking men shook their hands and introduced themselves as Kathleen's lawyers.  They were white, around fifty, and carried themselves with an impatient demeanor. Those qualities were true of most lawyers Georgina met.
